Holy cow!! Sean Hannity just asked the Kerry spokesman 5 or 6 direct yes or no questions that just hammered him. Made Kerry look very bad. Reaction -- the Kerry spokesman left the show and refused to participate in the second half of their segment.
Heh. I've trashed him up and down, and I know I will in the future.
But he did me proud tonight. Nice job, Sean.
...The media's failure to this country is despicable...
I think the media's failure to this World is despicable (just finished reading John Gibson's book "Hating America, The New World Sport)".
One if the few things I miss about MA is Howie's show -- and Howie calling Marty a "Clinton ru*p-swab"...
Is Michael Meehan related to the doofus Marty Meehan, Congressman from Mass?
Trust me, all we're gonna see are whiny losers bitching and moaning:
"Give me a job!"
"Pay my health insurance"
"Raise my boss's taxes!"
Prepare to be sickened.
Pardon my French, but no effing shiite. There are many reasons why Kerry shouldn't be elected; his post 9/11 behavior in Congress is just one.
Does this guy know what it is to work, to show up everyday? Man, he makes me sick on so many levels.
Pray for W and Our Troops
He does his best always and usually that is a good job.
Sean Hannity, 100 % whoop ass !
I hate to say this, but men always talk over women. Ann
has learned to just keep on talking, eventually they listen. It doesn't hurt to look good too. Sorry Guys,
but I speak, from experience. Well, not to say I could ever
hope to look as good as Ann.
Actually this is nothing unusual. Have you ever heard a liberal answer a straight question? All they do is dance and squirm
Sounds like hemmoroids of the mouth...
Kerry's guy pulled up his pants and went home, eh? Figures.
I noticed this evening that Alan is doing the same thing. I used to like Colmes, but now I mute my TV more when he is up
hey i know this is kinda off the subject, but does anybody know if that little ditty you hear on the radio when Sean is on that sounds like Bush is sayin, "hey, Sean Hannity is cool, heh, heh, heh," ??? (Bush with his funny laugh) i swear it sounds just like Bush, but it's just so funny....
Transcript of the exchange (slightly paraphrased, keep in mind they were talking over each other a lot):
Sean Hannity: Michael, let me ask you couple of quick questions here, and I want quick yes or no answers. Just simple questions, you tell me if it's right. Yes or no answers, and that's all, because you know what, if you don't want to play games I'll just ask Nicole the rest of the questions for the day. That's fine.
Michael Meehan: Go ahead.
Hannity: Here's what's important and you can take little cheap shots in a 15 second video in a 90 minute debate and take the worst moments and act like that's important. I'd rather look at the 20 year record of John Kerry. Was John Kerry wrong proposing a Nuclear freeze when Ronald Reagan was confronting the Soviet Union and the Evil Empire?
Meehan: Didn't happen.
Hannity: He proposed a nuclear freeze. A verifiable nuclear freeze and that was his record. Was that wrong?
Meehan: Didn't happen.
Hannity: That's a lie.
Meehan: Why don't you talk to Nicole about lying then Sean.
Hannity: Mike, why are you ly... why are you distorting his record? That is his record.
Meehan: It's not.
Hannity: Why would you ... Is that something ... Now this is interesting Nicole, because that is his record, that is the truth...and this is a point that now he wasn't asked in the debate. And I think there was an opportunity missed. Let me ask you Michael another question. Was it wrong when he voted againt the death penalty in for terrorists in 1989? Who killed Americans...
Meehan: No
Hannity: Was that wrong?
Meehan: No. No.
Hannity: It wasn't...that was the right vote? OK. Was it wrong after the first trade center bombing he was on the intellegence committee for a full year he didn't show up at one meeting. Was that wrong?
Meehan: Oh, so the standard whether you're tough about, is showing up at a congressional hearing, is that the new threshold here? Meetings with the cabinet...meetings with...
Hannity: I'm asking a question, Does he have any regret, because now we've examined Pres. Bush's record...He's [Bush] gotten frankly an exam that nobody else has got...
Meehan: He did not
Hannity: ...John Kerry's record is that he says he's going to reform intelligence...after the first trade center attack for a full year on the Intel comm. he didn't show up. Was that right or wrong, does he regret not showing up?
Meehan: Sean, No there's no measure of whether you attended a congressional hearing or not of whether you're tough on terrorists. I mean, this president didn't meet with his cabinet about security ...
Hannity: Next question.
Meehan: ...and terrorism in his first 9 months.
Hannity: Now I want just want to finish up...
Meehan: Did did did the president of the US meet with his cabinet on security for 9 months, no he did not. We've not gone through the president's record.
Hannity: We've gone throught the Presidents record one of things that was missing was an examination of JK's record. Next question.
Meehan: Did the...You've examined it for 8 months here let me at least answer the question.
Hannity: I'm asking...you won't answer the question. You think the answer's no. So we...I got your answer. Next question. While he was on the intelligence committee, he missed over the years that he was on it...76% of the time he didn't show up. Was that wrong?
Meehan: No.
Hannity: OK, next question.
Meehan: This is really not on to...this is...this is g...why don't you just talk Sean, and you, I'll yield my time back.
Hannity: No I'm just asking you...these are your positions. This is your candidate.
Meehan: No go ahead. Yes or no, OK.
Hannity: And this is, and by the way Nicole, I think what you're seeing here is a level of discomfort on Michael's part because...
Meehan: I'm answering your questions Sean, I'm answering your questions.
Hannity: ...frankly the President missed an opportunity in a 90 minute debate he didn't bring up any of these issues. These issues must come before the American people if their going to, Nicole, get an accurate assessment of who these people are.
Nicole Devenish [Bush comm director]: Right, and if I could just jump in and ask one more, I don't know the answer to this yes or no question...
Meehan: [snickers] go ahead...
Devenish: ...was the removal of Saddam Hussein a mistake? I don't understand their answer...in the debate, in the debate it was a...
Hannity: Was it, Michael? Answer her, yes or no? Michael, Yes or no, was it a mistake?
Meehan: The way this President went about it absolutely, it [unintelligable] it was a colossal mistake actually...
Devenish: But that's ridiculous, Saddam Hussein is gone...[laughs] it was a colossal mistake.
Meehan: It's a colossal mistake anyway you think about it...false intelligence...
Alan Colmes: We're gonna take a break. He answered the questions, You just don't like the answers.
Yes..she was great..and she didn't have to share time with that Dem..who stormed off the show. Delightful.
....and we're equally glad to have you here. :)
